Property Description
Set in Scranton's established Hill Section, this classic property offers a rare opportunity for those seeking space, flexibility, and immediate livability--with the option to make thoughtful improvements over time.
Situated on a generously sized, fenced parcel, the property includes both a primary home and a separate rear residence--creating options for multi-generational living, extended occupancy, or future income potential. A detached garage with electric service adds additional functionality. Both dwellings have walk-up attics, front and rear porches, and laundry hook-ups, with the front even having its own laundry room.
The front four-bedroom, one-bath home at 539 Harrison Avenue presents a strong, stately presence, reflecting an era when craftsmanship was both a trade and a point of pride. High ceilings, ornate woodwork, vintage fixtures, stain glass window and the quality framing of the stairwells, entryway, and original windows lend a quiet strength and character to the space. While cosmetic updates and improvements may be desired or as needed, the home offers solid structure and well-functioning core systems--providing a sound foundation for future investment.
Rear 539 Harrison quietly takes the second stage to the commanding presence of the front dwelling. More modest in scale, yet thoughtfully laid out, it includes three bedrooms, one bath, a full eat-in kitchen, living and dining areas, and both front and rear porches--inviting simple, everyday living or extended use for family and guests.
The lot itself is a standout feature--level, usable, and enclosed--offering space and flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find in this location. The detached garage with power provides additional storage and utility.
This is a property that offers immediate use with the opportunity to enhance over time--it is well-suited for buyers who recognize value, whether for personal use, investment, or a combination of both. With the location only minutes from local medical, educational, city attractions, and even Avoca airport - this property is perfectly situated and ready for its new owners!
